Tasting Notes
This 2016 Petite Sirah displays an inky, opaque purple-black color with violet rim highlights. The nose reveals intense aromas of blackberry compote, dark plum, and blueberry pie, complemented by notes of violet, black pepper, and a hint of vanilla oak. On the palate, the wine delivers rich, concentrated flavors of ripe blackberries and boysenberries, supported by firm but well-integrated tannins and bright acidity. The finish is long and powerful, with lingering notes of dark fruit, baking spices, and a touch of dark chocolate that persists beautifully.
Food Pairings
Grilled ribeye steak with herb butter, braised short ribs with root vegetables, barbecued lamb shoulder, aged cheddar and blue cheese selections, dark chocolate tart with berry compote, wild mushroom risotto, smoked brisket with blackberry sauce
